AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking guidance for transitioning EMC/EMI experience to the U.S. job market, particularly in relation to the DO-160 standard, which pertains to airborne objects. The individual has a background in physics and nuclear engineering but lacks specific experience with U.S. standards like DO-160. They are exploring options for additional certifications or a master's degree to enhance their qualifications. There is a focus on the importance of a strong RF background in EMC roles, which is crucial for addressing EMI issues and designing products to withstand electrical transients. The conversation also touches on the potential benefits of programming skills and certificates to broaden job opportunities in the EMC field.

Dear members

I need guidance, advice greatly appreciated. Idid bachelor in physics and MS in nuclear Engg. Then have experience in EMC/EMI which lacks DO-160 experience and some other standards being used in USA. Now I am settled in US
How Can I make my EMC experience applicable to US by some extra certificate or Master. I am also interested in programming or there is is any programmin certificates with which I can help me apply to EMC jobs and use my experience also.

Thanks please advise me what should i do.

Welcome to the PF.

I'm not familiar with DO-160. What is it applicable to?

I work mostly with the EN- standards (they tend to be world-wide standards), applicable to Information Technology Equipment (ITE).

Having a good RF background is really key in EMC work, both for solving EMI problems, and for understanding how to design products to be able to handle electrical transients.

DO-160 IS a standard for airborne objects

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
